DVLA medical commission ignoring NHS consultant opinion
peterm41 replied to cannotbeleive's topic in DVLA
You could also take the matter to a Magistrates Court or a better bet may be your MP. DVLA are, literally a law unto themselves and have the public safety at the heart of their work -
Once you apply to the dvla they can take 3 or 4 months to decided. They will either revoke or refuse again, give you a temporary 1 to 3 years licence, send you for a full medical or give you an unrestricted licence. I doubt they will do the last on my list. You will ultimately go for a full medical which you may or may not have to pay for and it will be carried out by a franchised doctor. You will be asked your drinking pattern for the last 3 years and a separate questionnaire pertaining to your likelihood as to alcoholism or dependence. You will be fully examined including your physical, mental, co ordination, eyesight. Bloods will be taken and tested for CDT levels, anything below a 2.2 is OK. Once all that is back with the dvla and no red flags are raised with them they then issue your licence.

The DVLA are under staffed by a country mile and once they have you on their medical radar they have you for as long as they want. The decision to revoke would be taken by a non medically trained person and while the DVLA have a duty of care to other road users you are now a reference number. Good luck.

So when you say every one was doing extra hours for nothing you meant they were getting paid for the extra hours ?

peterm41 replied to Cherriesju's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
I think that my line manager is going to try to make me work my 30 hours over five days Does this mean you you don't know if they want you to do this or..... -
So are you saying you have been working 40 hours per week and getting paid for only 35 hours per week for 4 years? If so, how are you losing out any further?

Employer not paid my expenses
peterm41 replied to RichardFowles's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
I'm sure its just an oversight on their part. I would, respectfully, escalate the matter upward in the company and copy in the HR department -
Are you going to court to fight the DVLA decision or for something else? I would go to my MP before going to court....the court would normally side with the DVLA

Can bosses cut all communication at work?

How would your employer know if you had a mobile phone at work? smuggle it in -
But will you learn not to drink and drive again? Lucky you didn't end up in jail.....

It says "You only need to tell DVLA if you’re still having problems 1 month after the stroke" Are you saying you had problems for 6 months after the stroke? It's the drivers responsibility to inform the DVLA but 7 months have past and you're OK. Your doctor says you are ok to drive? If you inform the DVLA when you don't have to you are opening up a whole world of pain.

If you don't agree with the reason they took you to this first stage then you have to appeal. if they have a written procedure describing the capability process then compare that against their conduct thus far. how long is your employment?
-
I don't think so sounds as if they are giving you the chance to appeal and tie up thier loose ends.
-
how long have you been employed by them? What did the hearing letter actually say....have you misread it?
-
You will have to reapply by filing the forms including the medical questionnaire and they may even write to your doctor or optician again. That can take anywhere between 2 weeks and three months and then they will make a decision based on the evidence they get back.
-
If it were me I would take a step back, take some time off on holiday or self certify, take the time to update my CV, join lots of job websites and go away for even a couple of days. He will come back refreshed and in a more positive, happier outlook. Don't give the job up and think you could go for constructive dismissal. It will add tons of stress.

How do the DVLA know that your eyesight is no good?

Reapply for licence after relinquishing for medical reasons
peterm41 replied to nickoliver's topic in DVLA
Make sure you have your doctors OK to drive again because the DVLA will contact your doctor and you will have to give the DVLA permission to do so -
Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Unfortunately not a lot. They make you take at least 6 months off driving (depending on whether they deem you as dependant or abuser of alcohol), they may ask you to take a medical at your expense at one of their approved doctors, they will then take an age to consider you for a licence once the six months are up and then you will be on their radar for the next few years. You could fight it through Magistrate court or write to your MP Good luck

Return to work interview
peterm41 replied to nic1975's topic in Employment and minimum wage problems
I had the same happen to me though i was off for a month but i wasn't allowed back until my doctor had signed me fit to work and i had a back to work interview and then I was allowed back on a phased return. Being off for a month is classed as long term sick so there may be a little bit of a difference to your circumstances but I wouldn't worry go to the meeting see what they have to say take it from there. -
